During our initial consultation, we will work with you to identify the most appropriate food or packaging test to satisfy your needs. We offer a full range of services including, but not limited to, sensory flavor and texture analysis, headspace analysis and consumer panel testing to help you solve problems of flavor and quality significance.

Finished Products & Ingredients Analysis

For finished products or ingredients requiring analysis, we start with expert sensory screening, performed by our extensively trained panel with experience in every food product imaginable. Continuously educated and developed under the guidance of Dr. MaryAnne Drake, they rate attributes on an intensity scale. Using sensory language developed from lexicons, results are delivered via a table of mean attributes from overall intensity of flavor and aroma through texture, as well as visual determinations.

Based on these results, we establish the next step, which could be to:

Implement consumer panel testing

Perform threshold testing for flavor compounds in many matrices (This is basic research into level of perception of certain compounds by the population, and tells you how important certain compounds are in your product.)
